Earthquake caught on VENUS pressure sensors!

The Parascientific Pressure sensor located at the Delta Dynamics Laboratory platform caught the oceanic signal of the local 6.3 earthquake of September 9, 2011 (12:41 PDT). The pressure sensor is located on a bottom mounted platform and samples at a rate of ~700ms. The back-ground trend is the rising tide, on which is superimposed the surface pressure signature of tsunami like waves “sloshing” about in the Strait of Georgia. The signal also shows up in other pressure sensors at this and our other SoG locations, but because of the fast sample rate, this sensor shows enhanced variability.
